The mode of operation (elfcopy, mcs, or strip) is chosen based on the
program name. Broaden this to allow a substring match at the end of the
name to allow prefixes - for example, bsdstrip or aarch64-freebsd-strip.
This improves use of these tools as drop-in replacements for GNU objcopy
and strip, which are often built with a limited set of supported targets
and installed with a target prefix for cross tools.

Fix a symbol table handling bug in elfcopy: elfcopy puts .symtab,
.strtab and .shstrtab sections in the end of the output object. If
the input objects have more sections after any of these 3 sections,
the section table will be reordered, and in that case the section
symbols should be regenerated for relocations.
The bug is triggered since newer clang puts .strtab section in the
beginning of the object produced.

Merge ELF Tool Chain r3434:
Previously, elfcopy defines:
VMA: section virtual address
LMA: PHDR(p_vaddr)
While binutils(libbfd) defines:
VMA: section virtual address and PHDR(p_vaddr).
LMA: PHDR(p_paddr)
For elfcopy, p_paddr is considered not meaningful and is always set
to the same value as p_vaddr.
elfcopy was implemented that way because I thought p_paddr is not
used/meaningful according to the ELF ABI. However it turned out
p_paddr is at least used in some ELF files, e.g. the FreeBSD kernel.
This change made elfcopy treat p_paddr as LMA, same as libbfd.
(However, some VMA/LMA related command line option still need tweaking
to make them compatible with binutils objcopy. This will be improved
later)

An empty debug link target previously returned a confusing and incorrect

GNU objcopy allows an empty file as the debug link target. However,
that case is nonsensical so diverging from GNU behaviour is fine.
